Sweet Monthly Tincture
ORGANIC Herbs: Yarrow leaf & flower, St. John's Wort & Lady's Mantle herb, filtered water & alcohol
Sweet Monthly Tincture & tea where made to support a woman during her menstrual cycle. That could be the hormonal changes of mood & irritability or with the pain of cramps & breast tenderness. Sweet Monthly is supportive & strengthening to the uterus & also helps to slow heavy blood flows.
I created this tincture & tea for my daughter around 1994. I found it very useful then & much later throughout my menopausal years where it helped ease the monthly "ghosts" of change.
It is best to start using Sweet Monthly before your cycle starts – by a day or two. This brings about the best results but anytime is a good time. Before, during or even after as needed!
Women who have been experiencing various menstrual issues over a long period in their life, like months or years may want to use this tea as a tonic: meaning - using it consistently over a period of weeks or months. A few or more cups per week. We have found that this practice has brought about some normalizing & easing of menstrual problems. After this time period they find that they only need to use Sweet Monthly starting the week before or the day before their cycle starts.
Little known about St. John's Wort is that it has a tradition of being used to bring calm & support the uterus. It also to helps with the pain & cramping. Yarrow leaf & flower is known for its help with hormonal balancing & with relieving cramps. Yarrow can bring balance to an irregular monthly cycle. Lady's Mantle aids in the strengthening of tendons & ligaments that support the uterus but is especially helpful when a woman has heavy bleeding.
